Bottom... Trousers - plain or striped, which should be in harmony with the vest and the rest of the suit.

On foot. Smart "solid" low shoes.

How to create a hedgehog costume

There are many options to sew. We will tell you about those that will require minimal time, material and physical costs.

The gray hedgehog is very happy:
He dressed up in a jacket.
All in pins and needles in front,
All in needles behind.
Runs in the forest on the grass
Gathers on pins
Apples, mushrooms, leaves
And nuts, and flowers ...

These are the main features - gray, prickly, economic. The most important thing is, of course, a fur coat with thorns. The color scheme, in addition to gray tones, includes black and shades of brown.
Let's take a closer look at how to make a do-it-yourself hedgehog costume for a child.
The basis of the fancy dress will be a cape vest with a hood, imitating the character's fur coat.

You will need:

• A piece of fabric of the appropriate color, one meter is enough;
• Braid, about 50-70 cm or button;
• Fleece in three colors, foam rubber (1cm thick) or Christmas tree tinsel to imitate thorns (choose one);
• Thread, needle;
• Glue gun;
• Multi-colored felt for making gifts of the forest or pictures.

First of all, you should decide what you want to make the hero's needles from. If your choice fell on the Christmas tree tinsel, the choice of fabric can be taken lightly, since the tinsel will completely cover the lining, the material will practically not be visible.

So let's get started:

1. Cut out the base of the fur coat. It can be a vest cape or just a cape. Use the attached diagrams:

Connect the parts along the indicated lines.

• The pattern of the N1 hedgehog suit involves assembling the model with a braid. Cut the holes and thread the lace through them. It is also necessary to prepare holes for the hands.
• Pattern N2 consists of two pieces, they will need to be sewn together. Make a buckle under the hood.

1. After assembling the vest, you can tackle the thorns.

• The simplest thing is to use a matte Christmas tree tinsel with a white finish. Hand wash it tightly all over the canvas. It should look something like this:

Or like this:

Our hero, it turns out, may be red!

• If you decide to make foam needles, pre-paint the material on both sides. The color of the outer side should contrast with the inner layer.
  Acrylic paints are perfect for painting; after drying, they do not crumble. Dilute them with water 1: 1 for ease of application and economy.
  If you don't have acrylic at hand, prepare the following composition: a jar of gouache + 5 tablespoons of PVA glue + one glass of water. Apply it to the surface, being careful not to overdo it, so that the inside of the foam does not stain. After drying, such a coating will also not crumble and crumble.
  When the paints are dry, the sheet is to be cut into small pieces in the form of straws or elongated triangles.

Use them to sew the entire cape by hand. You can arm yourself with a glue gun, work with it will be done much faster. As a result, you should get something like this hedgehog coat:

• Another way to make a kind of thorns is to make them from fabric. Use fleece for this, it is thick enough, its edges do not crumble during processing. Cut the fabric into triangles, then sew them over the back and hood with them.

You can also prepare strips of fabric of three different shades: dark, medium and light tones, about 10 cm wide. Cut them along the entire length and lay the resulting multi-colored fringe on top of each other, as shown in the picture below. Sew stripes along the back and hood of the main outfit. The result might look something like this:

Supplementing the costume with accessories

Our hero is very economic. He does not just walk in the forest, but collects on his thornspins are different forest gifts: fruits, mushrooms, leaves. Here they will become accessories that will add color to the costume.
You can make them in different ways:

• The simplest is juicy pictures on thick paper. Sew on or stick them on.

• Felt semi-volume applications are somewhat more difficult to sew, but also easy. If pins are sewn on the back, such details can simply be fastened.

Use this photo instruction to create them:

A large bright butterfly can become an additional accessory and organically decorate a forest beauty.

Completing the character's image - applying makeup

Your baby will look more like a cute animal if it is accompanied by an interesting masquerade dress.

• You can limit yourself to a round nose with a mustache drawn with a hypoallergenic cosmetic pencil.
• And you can draw an animal muzzle on your face.
  

If you chose the second option, then first of all, tint the child's face, making a transition from light to dark, and then draw needles with face painting. Select the eyelids with black color, paint white highlights.

So, in general, that's all - the hedgehog costume is ready with your own hands! You can wear any clothes under it: trousers and a shirt with a bow tie, pants with a turtleneck, shorts with a T-shirt or a jacket with a skirt - for a girl. Try only to choose clothes in soothing tones so that they are the backdrop for an interesting fancy dress.

If the kid is participating in a theatrical performance and he urgently needs a hedgehog costume, parents have only three ways out of this situation. Suitable carnival clothing can be rented. You can purchase a ready-made kit in a specialized store. Or you can sew a hedgehog with your own hands.

Choosing an image and preparing for work

If it was decided to make a hedgehog costume with your own hands, first you need to think over the overall design and sensibly assess your capabilities. If you have a purchased kit, but you don’t like it or it doesn’t fit, you can modify it a little. The costume can consist of a ready-made overalls, decorated with soft or cardboard needles, a hat and additional paraphernalia such as apples, baskets, autumn leaves. More experienced seamstresses can prepare hedgehog clothes from scratch by neatly cutting out the jacket, pants and shirt.

We propose to consider several options for creating such a kit. The first method is suitable even for those who do not know how to sew at all. To create a designer look, you will need a sewing machine, skills in such work and some additional materials.

Preparation for work

Before you start making an outfit, you need to consider a few points:

• kids are very mobile, so heavy and bulky costumes should be abandoned;
• if you have a jumpsuit or pajamas of a suitable color, you should use ready-made clothes, making only accessories and a "fur coat";
• the easiest way to sew is from soft, non-flowing fabrics, for example, thin fleece or plush;
• in addition to fabric, baskets, apples and mushrooms, to create an image, you will need a special make-up that is safe for children.

If a girl needs a costume, then instead of pants and overalls, you can sew a simple "peasant" dress with an apron. Then the fur coat of the future hedgehog is fixed on the cape and supplemented with a prickly hat.

Making a headdress and needles

You should start making a hedgehog costume by making a special hat. To do this, you need to take an old, but suitable size cap or panama hat for the child. If a baseball cap was chosen, you need to cut off the visor from it, if the hat - to separate the fields. Prepare a piece of cloth with an area of ​​about 50 cm 2. The colors are selected in accordance with the intended shade of the suit. It can be gray, black, brown or terracotta cut into rectangles three to five centimeters wide. Each such workpiece must be cut across, not reaching the edge of about 0.5 cm. The resulting parts are folded in a triangle and fixed with an iron - these will be future needles. The thorns are sewn in a circle, starting from the very bottom of the cap, while the thread should pass through the "undercut" 0.5 cm in the middle of the rectangles. On the crown of the headdress, several more needles are swept in, made one piece per element.

Hedgehog muzzle

A cone is cut out of a lighter fabric and stuffed with padding polyester or ordinary cotton wool. Any fabric trim or knitting thread cut into small pieces will also work. A nose is sewn to the finished cone, the mouth is embroidered and the eyes are attached. If the hedgehog costume is carnival, you can add a little sparkle or rain. The finished muzzle must be swept over the hat with needles (on the front side).

The main advantage of such a suit is its mobility: such an outfit is very easy to take off and put on. There will be no need to dress the baby in bulky elements of the outfit for a long time, fearing to tear off some detail even before the matinee. By the way, in this way you can make faces for any animals: foxes, wolves and bunnies.

Hedgehog suit - trim

Optionally, the outfit is decorated with autumn leaves, artificial apples, pears and mushrooms. The simplest option for such a finish is fruits and vegetables, painted on cardboard and glued, or better, sewn to the hedgehog's fur coat. You can give your baby a basket with plastic apples or mushrooms made from papier-mâché. To create fairly light fruits, polystyrene foam is used - this is such a very dense foam that is used to strengthen the walls. All elements are cut out using an ordinary penknife or clerical knife, and then simply painted with acrylic or gouache paints. To make it more believable, you can glue real tails from apples. Next, the fruits are fixed on the needles of fur coats and hats with

Complex options for carnival dress

If you have free time, experience in cutting and sewing, as well as at least a small budget allocated for a festive hedgehog, you can sew from scratch. This will require a suitable fabric for the jumpsuit and hoodie. The pattern is created on the basis of the child's ready-made clothes, which are suitable in size and image. Fasteners are made at the front with a plastic zipper or standard buttons. So that the seams on the shelf are not visible, a hedgehog's "belly" is cut out of beige or gray fleece, which is attached with ordinary Velcro. The hood is trimmed with needles made according to the same pattern as the thorns for the cap. Also, rounded ears are made from the fabric of the abdomen. They are sewn to the hood or sewn on a typewriter. For especially lazy ones, the needles can be made from ordinary foam rubber, which is painted in a suitable color with gouache.

Now young parents know how to make a hedgehog costume. The main rule is not to limit your own imagination. The needles can be made of foam rubber, which is used to insulate windows, simply by cutting it into suitable pieces and painting it with gouache. The cape can be cut based on the finished jacket hood. Instead of a jumpsuit, you can wear regular checked trousers and a white shirt, which is larger in size. In this case, a special padding polyester is attached to the stomach. The preparation time for such a costume depends on the skill of the mother and the chosen image, but with careful work and the availability of all the necessary materials, such an outfit can be made in one or two evenings.
